Akrone - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

Hello, The Akrone K-AF320 was born from a partnership, it is balanced, reliable and light. Published in 350 copies. This watch is important to me, it is associated with many professional memories. Case: Titanium Movement: ETA 2893-2 GMT Water resistance: 10 ATM Glass: Sapphire Dial: Textured Bezel: Bi-directional PS for purists, the K-GMT is only a pale copy of the K-AF320 ^^

My first automatic watch. I was originally on the Tissot/Seiko/Lip trio, but nothing really tempted me. I have a preference for dress watches, quite thin because I have a 16 wrist, and I found Akrone by chance. I was happy because consuming French is important to me, especially without an intermediary, so it was all good! So of course, I prefer to try things before buying, and even more so watches. But the technical sheet got the better of me, and the customer reviews were excellent. The 38mm was a good compromise…

Nantais by adoption I stumbled upon the Akrone brand at the time. After the K01 then the K02 I finally took the plunge on the K03 and more particularly the Caiman which is fantastic with its purple blue reflections and also its raised indexes! The work on the case and the mass is also magnificent! The only small downside would be the crown which is sensitive to scratches

The C-02 NO BAT – Our pride of Nantes Akrone has struck again with their new range of C-02. Beautiful pieces all equipped with the beautiful and famous France Ebauche movement. I opted for the C-02 No Bat!! A crazy charm, especially thanks to its look (assumed by the brand by the way) very "Fifty Fathoms", without having a real wink to the experience of the brand (For those who do not know, they chose the no bat because many customers asked when receiving their watches, the date on which the battery should be chan…

This C-02 CROSS (Regional Operational Center for Surveillance and Rescue) is perhaps my favorite of the current collection. I love the textured deep blue dial. the original strap is very comfortable but a very (too) bright orange that was too flashy and "stole the show" from the beautiful blue and orange dial of the watch itself, after a few tries, I replaced it with a NATO in the same tones. This professional project from Akrone was open to the public, which allowed me to acquire it for my greatest pleasure.

This is my first Akrone, my first automatic chronograph. I bought it to replace an Oris that was unfortunately stolen. I love its very detailed gray-black dial. The original strap was beautiful but unfortunately a little fragile. I replaced it with a Hirsch for a slightly more sporty effect.

Akrone is a French and Nantes brand founded in recent years. Being a watch enthusiast and collector, I had necessarily heard about it... Until the day a colleague who was also a collector arrived with an Akrone on his wrist... And so I was able to discover the excellent quality. So I acquired this pretty Akrone C02 Lagon, in a blue dial color that is rare in watchmaking. It is precisely its originality and its textured dial, as well as the engraved caseback that won me over. The dial and the engraved caseback repre…

This watch is truly special. First, because the Akrone brand is endearing. Whether through its communication or thanks to the community that has been created around the brand, we feel like we belong to a small watchmaking family. Then, like many other models of the brand, this one was created in association with an entity of the French army, here the ALAT (Light Aviation of the Army). This makes sense to me because a member of my family is part of this Arme. We find the characteristic blue color of the ALAT on the…

Being more used to wearing sports watches, I opted for this C04 in order to include a dresswatch in my collection. The good reputation of the brand, the quality of their watches and their simple and effective communication convinced me. The watch is simple, but well finished, with interesting details such as the texture of the dial or the feather hands. Its only flaw in my opinion: a crown that is not easy to handle.

The Akrone K-GMT is a pilot's watch, clearly in the aero style, it indicates two time zones, the case is made of titanium so it is light and robust, the movement is an ETA, one of the latest models of the brand with an ETA because now the movements are reserved for the swatch group. The blue dial is very well finished. The watch was delivered with a rubber strap as well as an optional titanium strap. You should know that the model is a limited edition so no longer available for sale new. It is very good value for m…
